Project Life Tuesday ~ Week 50

Monday ~ Autumn was so excited this morning when we went outside to get in the car to go to school. There was a slight skiff of snow on the flowerbeds & roofs of the houses. I tell her all the time to wear a coat b/c it’s cold, but she doesn’t like how bulky it is when she’s in her car seat.

Tuesday (same as the link for Monday) ~ Autumn always likes to take my phone so she can find songs to play for us to dance to. She always gets to be the girl & I’m always the boy. She has me spin her & dip her. Since it’s the holidays Mom had these reindeer headbands & Autumn wanted to wear them while we danced.

Wednesday ~ Happy 12/12/12 at 12:12. Today was a special day b/c it’s 12/12/12 and that won’t happen for another one hundred years. Some people celebrated the day by eating things that come in dozens like eggs or doughnuts. I was at work so I just took a pic of my computer calendar/clock.

Thursday ~ Sis. Wright made these gingerbread trains for her scouts & made an extra one for Mom to do w/ Autumn! She is so incredibly thoughtful. Mom didn’t want to do it, so I helped Autumn. It was fun, but no something I would go out & do on my own. I think it’s a waste of money & good candy.

Friday ~ Tonight was our ward Christmas party. The Elders Quorum was in charge & they did a great job. At the end, Santa came to visit. I love that Santa was looking at Autumn’s sparkly shoes w/ her. When she got off the stage I asked what she told Santa she wanted for Christmas. Without skipping a beat she said, “a computer.” I told her that is NOT going to happen!

Saturday ~ Tonight was the big annual white elephant party at the Berrett’s. I put together this big 16x20 collage of the past 2 years of Britt & Virginia. She’s worn the same Christmas sweater all 3 years! I love the fun & friendly banter those 2 have.

Sunday ~ Today was Mom & Dad’s big ward party. They were going to do chips & sandwiches for the meal & Mom said NO WAY! She did ham, yum yum potatoes, chips, rolls, & veggies. So, she & I made TWELVE pans of potatoes! Dad was joking around & got Autumn to salute Mimi whenever she told Dad & Autumn to do something like take stuff out to the truck. The party ended up being great, but it was so stressful & A LOT of work! Someone brought the most amazing cheesecake w/ pecans & caramel sauce, so that made the whole stress worth it. I hope Mom’s not in charge of the food next year!

I am SO TORN over what to do for my Project Life core kit for this year. I planned on buying the Olive edition, but then when Becky shared all those new kits on Facebook, I wanted to use one of those instead, b/c I’m honestly not 100% in love w/ the Olive edition, but I preferred it over the Seafoam edition. However, I don’t want to wait until May to get one of the new core kits b/c the year’s almost 1/2 over by that point. And, I can’t switch 1/2 way through the year if I do end up getting one of the new core kits b/c that doesn’t jive w/ my OCD of having things match and be the same. So, I guess I’ll just have to stick w/ the Olive kit and use the others for next year or go back and do years past. What are y’all doing?

Love the gingerbread train. How fun!!I don't buy the kits yet, I'm trying to use up old scrapbooking supplies. So nothing is the same...and my pages are rarely cohesive. I LOVE some of those new kits coming out though. I would pick a current kit that coordinates well with the kit your want in May. That way you can have both. :o)

I switched to digital because I tried the core kit last year and didn't even make it half the year. I'm using Seafoam this year but I too love all the new options that are coming out in May. It's a tough choice! Maybe just make notes and then rewrite onto the journaling cards when the new kits come out?
